The twist is going to be Andor's sister looking for him after some big high-profile ISB manhunt. Like a giant WANTED poster tips her off.GimpInBlack posted:Val Kilmer's character in the movie was named "Madmartigan" and not "Mad Martigan" like "that crazy motherfucker Martigan." Wait what?

It doesn't have to be two separate words to mean that, e.g. madman.

Chronojam posted:The twist is going to be Andor's sister looking for him after some big high-profile ISB manhunt. Like a giant WANTED poster tips her off. I mentioned elsewhere but for some reason I read the Willow novelization before I saw the movie, and was very taken aback by how toned-down and sanitized the movie's horror elements were from what I was expecting based on the text, but it did insulate me from thinking he was "Mad Martigan". However I also remember TV ads for the toys/action figures and remember the announcer going "Mad Martigan!!" and I definitely suffered some confusion in the moment and thought it was a very silly name that must have been written in a script without thinking about how it would sound on screen. Like in Wheel of Time with 16 different words that all sound like damane, or a HHGTTG adaptation that tries to do the Jynnan'tonnyx joke

Omega from our children's show isn't technically a child soldier, look, we gave her a way less practical weapon than the other guys. Please do not further reflect on how our "accelerated maturation process" technically makes all clones child conscript soldiers.

The Clone Wars ep where the PTSD amnesia clone winds up endentured to a domineering diner owner only to be reminded of who he is so he can be "freed" to die in the service of the Republic in one last blaze of glory.

Andor's sister being a loose thread is clearly just thematic fodder for when he has to choose between his old family and his new family.

if andor were any good they should've used the khyber crystal luthen gave to cassian as the perfect secret doohickey to pull off the heist. that's called a time honored technique called chekov's gun.

Luthen also had the "never carry anything you don't control" line and then immediately gave andor that to carry around. Maybe it should have been a tracking device or something

I mean it doesn't need to be a tracking device. Giving him the crystal gives Luthen leverage over Andor because they're highly sought after and if Andor did try to cut and run and sell the crystal it would be leave a trail.

also Andor gave it back when he decided to cut and run, so maybe it was something more sinister but Andor going out of his way to square things away with Luthen prevented it from being relevant. (Except to show Cassian Andor as someone who is, despite the situation we found him for the first three episode, does not cheat people who have not wronged him)

Just rewatched Rogue One and I would love to know what the before and after Tony Gilroy came in to fix it looked like. There's a lot Krennic jetting from place to place to argue with cg characters that feels unnecessary, but that imperial infighting is also exactly Gilroy's poo poo.

Aw I love the new Willow show, it's so wholesome and adventuresome, the characters are all cute and kind and gay. Willow looks loving great for... what, a 65 year old man? John Wick of Dogs fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Dec 8, 2022 |

About 20 minutes into episode two, Elora Danara throws up on Willow. See, they're riding in a horse-drawn cart and she's a little motion sick. I turned it off right there. I'm pretty sure I did the right thing but am willing to listen to compelling arguments.

I liked the first two episodes but felt things really picked up in the third... Only for the final 15 minutes to be shot in twilight and nearly impossible to follow since everyone and everything looked the same.

I think Cassian Andor and his sister are the same person, who were combined into one being. His name isn't really Cassian Andor, it's "Cassie and Andor"

That's what I was thinking when he gave it to him. If Andor hosed around or bailed on the heist or whatever Luthen could just put the word out that "hey this guy Clem/Cassian's gotta die, how will you find him? Easy, he's about to sell A $$$ KYBER CRYSTAL." Right after the heist, I think Luthen was expecting Cassian to either immediately join the rebellion formally or to cut and run with the crystal. I think he genuinely didn't expect him to both play a huge tangible part in completing the job, AND not join the rebellion, AND also only take his share and have the crystal returned.

Soon we’ll find out that Andor, his sister, Jyn, Crix Madine, the Stormtrooper who hit his head on the Death Star, and somehow Sheev and Captain Tarpals, are all the exact same being within the Force.
